Transportation Last year, when we weren’t walking (which we loved doing), we used The Metro & Taxi’s mostly. Buses are options too. ● The Metro system in Medellin is the best in all of South America! The cost is +/- $1.50 / round trip. ● Taxis are everywhere, easy to get cabs. Our avg cost was +/- $5, and that was cross-town.
